    Ada's Original Monument Company

    Gifford Monument Works opened in Ada in 1936. That means we've been part of this community through nearly nine decades of change — through booms and recessions, through generations of Ada families building their lives and laying their loved ones to rest.

    We're not a recent arrival. We didn't acquire another company to get here. We were here — and we've never left.

    When you bring us a family name to carve into granite, we understand the weight of that. We've done it thousands of times. And we approach every one the same way — like it's the only one that matters.

    Custom Memorials We Create

    All styles available in 40+ granite colors. Full installation at your Ada-area cemetery included.

    Upright Monuments

    The most expressive option — custom shapes, portraits, artwork, emblems. Available in all granite colors with any layout you can imagine.

    From $2,800

    Flat Grave Markers

    Flush-to-ground markers required by many Pontotoc County cemeteries. Fully personalized, built to last generations.

    From $1,204

    Companion Monuments

    Two names, one stone. Designed together as a matched set for couples or adjoining family plots.

    From $4,258

    Veterans Memorials

    Military branch emblems, rank, dates of service, decorations. We've honored Ada's veterans for decades.

    From $2,800

    Portrait Engravings

    Laser-engraved from a photograph directly onto the granite. A powerful, lasting tribute. Requires black granite.

    Included in packages

    Children's Memorials

    Custom shapes, gentle inscriptions, soft artwork — designed with care and patience. No templates unless the family wants one.

    Why "Local" Actually Matters Here

    We know these cemeteries

    We've worked with Ada's cemeteries for generations. We know the foundation requirements, the setback rules, the people to call. That saves you time and avoids costly mistakes.

    You can reach us

    We're in Ada. Not a call center, not a regional office. When you have a question two months after the monument is set, you can call us and we'll answer.

    No middlemen

    We source granite directly. There's no supply chain layers between you and the stone. That means better pricing and fewer surprises.

    We're not going anywhere

    88 years and counting. When you commission a memorial from Gifford, you're working with a company that will be here for the next generation of your family too.

    What Ada Families Say

    "Gifford has been part of our family for two generations. When we lost my father, there was no question who we'd call. They treated us like family the whole way through."

    Linda S.

    Ada, OK

    "I wanted something unique for my mother's headstone — a custom design, not something out of a catalog. Gifford made it happen. The stone is exactly what I imagined."

    Dale W.

    Coalgate, OK

    "I appreciated that they gave me a real price upfront and stuck to it. No surprises. The memorial turned out beautiful."
